Abstract

This study is aimed to produce a Mechanics Problem Based Learning module, that is feasible to use in physics learning on Mechanics topic. The research method uses Research and Development (RnD). The instruments are questionnaires of module feasibility test and questions validity test. The validators are a construct validator from physics education lecturer and five content validators from pure physics lecturers. All validators are chosen from three state universities in Indonesia. The questions in this module fulfill the analytical thinking skill indicators based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. The result of the module feasibility test is analyzed by using the Ideal Evaluation Criteria in Scale 5. Meanwhile, the result of the questions validity test is analyzed by using content validation ratio (CVR). Due to the result of the study, the Mechanics Problem Based Learning module is generally feasible to be used in physics learning on Mechanics topic. Owing to the general score of 4.06 out of 5.00 acquired, the module is included in the feasible category. Whereas the set of questions in the module is valid because it is included very useful category. All sub-indicators obtain CVR score of 1 as a perfect score. The module is revised based on validators’ comments and adapted to the theory. Therefore, both the materials and the set of questions could be used to measure students’ analytical thinking skill in physics learning on Mechanics topic.
